How to Find a Good Therapist
Feeling down? Anxious? Overwhelmed? Confused? Devastated? Irritated? Exhausted?
Over it?
Therapy can help with all of that. Carving out time to intentionally process things that have happened and are happening can put you on a path to healing. There is a method to the madness when directly confronting issues that may limit your happiness.
But there is a catch. How do I find the help I need?
It can be overwhelming. But taking that first step of reaching out can go a long way.
When finding a therapist, the internet is a helpful place. Psychologytoday.com is a popular search engine for therapists. You will find where a therapist is located, what population they serve, and what approach they use.

I’m four months pregnant with my third baby and my one-year-old daughter WILL.NOT.SLEEP. I’ve tried it all: diffusing essential oils and lavender baths, dark room, sound machine, magic merlin suit, sleep sack. It seems like no matter what I do, she still wakes up every 30-90 minutes ready to play, all night long.

I decided to enlist the help of...
It’s not about “having time” – It’s about “making the time”
Time. There never seems to be enough of it in a day. If only I had more hours in a day, then I would be able to accomplish everything I wanted and needed to do.
How is it that we have the same amount of hours each day, but some days seem to fly by and others drag on?
I found myself venting to a friend about not having enough time to get all the things done, she listened to me complain about my family's crazy schedule, and then she started smiling and almost laughing at me. I was hurt. I asked her why she was laughing at me feeling overwhelmed;...
10+ Dairy-Allergy Safe Products that Actually Taste Good
When my infant was diagnosed with an anaphylactic milk allergy our entire food world was turned upside down. We did baby-led weaning, she was eating what we were eating. I was also breastfeeding which meant, in essence, I now had a milk allergy and my diet was about to significantly change.
When people hear milk allergy they think of lactose intolerance; many do not consider that we cannot have butter, cheese, yogurt, or anything containing a milk product. I've tried to start saying dairy allergy in hopes that it will better convey what we can and cannot have.
Milk, or a milk-derived product, is in almost everything. Luckily, we live in a time in...
It feels like there is a ton of things we can disagree on but as moms, it feels like maybe ONE thing we can all say "yes and AMEN" to is that parenting is HARD. I don't know about you, but there have been plenty of things that have happened over the years that I was not prepared for. I had a vision of what life as a parent would be like and then it appears that things got turned upside down and maybe someone laughed at my best plan.
As we all agree that parenting is hard. From birth to preschool to elementary, middle, and teen years, and beyond, the thing we need most is supportive people. I work...
